I am Soulfully Yours

Feeling Distant

Sadhana scrunched her eyebrows feeling the sunrays hit through the window. She tried to get up but she had a severe headache and her eyes are swollen due to continuous crying throughout the night.

She got refreshed and came out to see Arjun was preparing breakfast. He felt her presence, he left the kitchen not before handing her the coffee.Sadhana's eyes had fresh tears looking at the clouded atmosphere between them.

He got ready to office.'naan breakfast and lunch ready panniten. Officelenthu vara late aagum. You need not wait for me. You can have your dinner and sleep' he said in a formal tone and left leaving devastated sadhana behind.

Sadhana felt sad and was hurt.'Naan enna thappu pannen Arjuneyy. Suddenah Yen namakulla ivlo distance?. I know that something is bothering you. Atleast enkitta share pannunga Arjuney..so that i will help you to come out of your problem. I always want you to be happy. I will make all the ways for you to be happy. I will always be there for you no matter what.' she thought to her self.

'Naan Enna panrathunu therila sadhana ma..I know am hurting you. But naan ennoda confusions clear pannama I cannot force myself into anything and also I don't want to give you any hopes.First i have to clear all my confusions. Kandippa I will open up to you. Athu varaikum..Enna tolerate panniko Sadhana ma' he sobbed while driving to office.

Sadhana did had her breakfast for a name sake. She did her chores just to keep her mind from wandering some unwanted thoughts. After she finished her chores, she sat in the couch and waswatching TV. Unknowingly..she slept in the couch itself. Arjun came back from his office, he thought of ringing the bell, but he decided not to disturb sadhana he opened the door with the spare key.

He found sadhana was sleeping in the couch and TV was running. He switched off the TV and he saw Sadhana in deep slumber. So he decided not to wake her. He went to kitchen to find that Sadhana did not have her lunch which hurted him so much and he felt guilty for placing Sadhana in this situation.

He quickly prepared Dosa & Tomato Chutney. He went near herand woke her up by gently patting her shoulder. She jerked a little and saw him only then she realised that she slept so long. She checked the clock to see its been 7.00 pm. She immediately jerked and said 'sorry i slept for so long. If you don't mind shall i prepare Dinner for you?'she asked him in a formal tone which hurt him to the core.

'Illa Naan dinner prepare panniten' he said. 'Oh. ok..then have it..I will prepare for myself' she said. 'Illa i prepared for both of us' he said in a hesitant tone.

'illa Arjun..'Ungalukku edhuku strain. I can take of myself..I will prepare for myself' she said in a hurtful tone and she prepared for her. Both had dinner in silence and the dinner did not reach their stomach'.

After the chores, Sadhana went to her room and she lied on the bed and Arjun went to the other room and slept.

'Innum ethana naal arjuney.. enna vittu ipadi vilagi iruka poringa?' Enakku ungala hurt pannum bothu i feel hurt to the core. But I think this is the only option to make you open up that is bothering you' thinking that she dozed off.

Next morning Arjun was in deep sleep that's when he got a call from his MD, he immediately picked the call.

'Hello Sir..Good morning' he spoke to him.
'Hi Arjun..Good morning. Sorry to disturb you early morning.. I just want to inform you that you would be flying to London today evening' he MD Venkat spoke. Arjun was surprised.

'Aama Man..You cracked the london project right and the london Business head want you to head this project. Ithu unakku oru nalla opportunity Arjun. It will definitely raise your career graph' Venkat concluded.Arjun was bit hesitated. Because he did not want to leave Sadhana alone that too in this situation.

'Yov Arjun ennaya..Silent ayita..oh..Un newly wedded wifeah epdi vittutu porathunu hesitate panriya?' he teased him without knowing the situation.

'Illa sir athu' he dragged.

'Arjun..you will be back within a month...Please forgive me for seperating the lovey dovey couple for a month' he teased him again.

He felt he need to accept the offer as he need some gap to settle things and clear his confusion.

'Ok sir... I will accept this and will leave to London today evening' he said.

'Great Arjun.. Ok fine.. You need not come to office. Just start packing your things and you will get your tickets and visa by this noon' venkat confirmed.

'Fine sir..' he said and hung the call.

He got refreshed and by the time he came, Sadhana also refreshed and came to living room. He went to the room and started packing his clothes. Sadhana saw this and was confused and hesitant whether to ask him or not. He felt her presence and said
'naan london poren oru project kaga. Naan vara one month aagum' he said to her.

'Ok..happy for your project..Neenga kandippa success pannuvinga' she smiled a little for which he nodded his head.

She immediately went to the closet and got the Beanie, Sweaters, gloves, fleece Jackets, Mittens and socksand haned over to him.
'London la ippo romba cold ah irukkum. Ithuvum pack pannikonga' she said for which his eyes brimmed with tears seeing her care, but he immediately wiped it.

'Hmm. Thanks..sadhana nee vena..intha one month unga amma veetliyo illa enga amma veetliyo iru. You need not be alone' he said for which she nodded.

'Namba Rendu perukum intha gap venum Arjuney..Hope everything settles within this one month. I make sure everything is settled. she thought to herself.

By Afternoon, Prakash & Roshan came to drop arjun in the airport.

Enna papa...Mapla oru masam una vittutu porane nu feel panriya? asked prakash teased looking sadhana's pale face.

She immediately plastered a smile and told him 'illa ney.. avarukku idhu oru nalla opportunity Avar itha miss panna koodathu. Avar poitu varattum. one month thaane..oru problem illa. Avarkaga naan happy thaan ney' she tried to say in her usual chirpiness.

Arjun bid bye to Sadhana left to airport. Two souls left distant both physically, mentally & yes emotionally as well hoping that everything will change to normal soon.
